Quanta: TNK-ing to the next level

BrainWaves: A Neurology Podcast

It's the age of thrombectomy. The DAWN of a new era. But should we give up on intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke? In this installment of the Quanta series (typically shorter episodes, this one happens to be 19 min...), we review the latest data on fibrinolytic agents and anticipate the upcoming paradigm shift in the management of patients with cerebral infarction.

Produced by James E. Siegler. Music by Hyson and Jon Watts. BrainWaves' podcasts and online content are intended for medical education only and should not be used for clinical decision making.
